So they can get you seated in the waiting room!

Honestly I don't have a clue. Most likely because they found something else that they can bill your insurance for.

I have no idea... I didn't need one.

No idea, I certainly wasn't asked to provide one. If I were you I would make them tell me.

I did not have one, and they checked for h pylori with my EGD.

Possibly h pylori, I had an egd and if they found something it was possible I'd have to. But all was well. A lot of times stool samples check for blood but not the only thing

H pylori infection?

The diagnosis of H. pylori infection includes tests for antibodies in blood, urea breath tests, tests for antigens in stool, and endoscopic biopsies. Chronic infections with H. pyloriweakens the natural defenses of the stomach so most individuals with symptoms need to be treated to prevent ulceration formation.
